   Unless of course the airport is "Downtown" so you're comin' from and   
   goin' to the various suburbs equally.    
      
   Um, Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP) comes to mind in Buenos Aires...   
   though Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini International Airport (EZE) out in   
   the far 'burbs is a totally different matter.  However, there's a very   
   efficient and inexpensive (even at official peso conversion rates) bus   
   service between the two operated by Manuel Tienda Leon that I can   
   personally recommend, and I'm not a shareholder nor been paid to   
   promote...
